Former GOP Rep Adam Kinzinger Gives an Ominous Warning in His Biden Endorsement
Trump will “hurt anyone or anything in pursuit of power,” he said.

Former GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), a fierce critic of Donald Trump, endorsed Joe Biden on Wednesday—a move he said he “never thought” he’d make. “While I certainly don’t agree with President Biden on everything, and I never thought I’d be endorsing a Democrat for president, I know that he will always protect the very thing that makes America the best country in the world: our democracy,” he said in a video posted to social media. Kinzinger voted for Trump in 2020, and he said still considers himself a conservative, but said in an ominous warning that Trump would “hurt anyone or anything in pursuit of power.” Biden re-posted Kinzinger’s video, and wrote, “This is what putting your country before your party looks like.” Kinzinger is the highest-profile Republican to endorse Biden; Republican former Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan did the same last month. Kinzinger didn’t seek re-election in 2022 after voting to impeach Trump following the insurrection.
As a proud conservative, I’ve always put America’s Democracy and our Constitution above all else.
